Hi all, I've been on propecia for 1 year and 2 months- decent maintanence, not much regrowth. I recently had some blood work done- found out that my SGPT levels (liver) are elevated (56). I'm not a drinker and my liver was always fine- the doctor said that propecia is metabolized in the liver...

I've been taking propecia for about a year, once every night, no sides. But I want to switch to mornings now, just because it's easier to remember taking. Will switching to mornings negatively affect me in any way? Could it potentially cause me to have side effects, although i haven't been...

Hi all, I started propecia in Sept 08, so it's been about 7.5 months. I thought that my hair slightly improved during the time, until about a month ago when i realized that my hair is actually slightly thinner now. I'm a diffuse thinner by the way, and the thinning appears to have increased all...

Do you know of any way to eliminate or reduce scalp itch? I’ve been using Dr. Lee's minoxidil 5% and Revivogen for about 2 years without much problem, but now I’m getting this crazy itch that never goes away. I even find myself itching in the middle of the night I apply the minoxidil 1x a day at...

No, i don't mean a shed, i mean i may be seeing an improvement and stopping of shedding. Can it do that in 3 weeks?

Quick question- Can Propecia cause thickening or improvement in only 3 weeks, or is that too soon for any benefit to show? I just got done with another seasonal minoxidil shed, i beleive, so i'm not sure if it's that, or propecia actually starting to work after 3 weeks. I've been on minoxidil for...

Ok, for real- what's with this talk by some people, ie (Gilgamesh), that finasteride use causes an increase in estrogen which in turn causes quicker aging, feminizing effects, hinders muscle growth, less facial hair, more prone to cancer, grows breasts? I mean, is finasteride really that bad...

"drugs such as finasteride destroy mental function (via GABA downregulation) drugs such as finasteride make it near impossible to have a good body (gyno, loss of muscle tone for most, etc.) Many can not even grow a proper beard" WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM?

I got a question- Do you think that finasteride is safe for people in their 20's to take? Since it shrinks and affects the prostate, do you think that it may cause an early form of prostate cancer, since you're tampering with it? Also if you start it, and then stop eventually, would it mess with...

Very intersting quiestion- i'd like to know the answer too

Bryan, realistically speaking, how safe do you think finasteride is in the long term? Do you think it could permanently mess with your hormones? And if you ever decide to quit it, has it been proven that any potential side effects would go away and you'd go back to normal?

I'm just curious- if one were to get the side effects on propecia, how long after starting would you most likely get them? i'd just like to have a ballpark so i can stop stressing about this :) Thanks

Ok, so I think i'm gonna give propecia a shot. I just a have a couple of questions: 1- I'm concerned about the side effects issue- that's the only thing that's been deterring me. If i take .5mg/day, will it have the same effect as 1mg but less side effects? less progress? same side effects...

What do you think of this study on the NZ propecia site? Do you think that the Propecia side effects everyone talks about are all pschological? http://www.propecia.co.nz/things_to_know.html Recent results from research conducted at the University of Bologna in Italy showed there was no...
